"Kabir!" came Piya's voice as she walked towards him, shutting her book. She'd had her daily dose of vampire romance, and now of course she had to go and ask Kabir how it was going with Misha.
"Piya, hey!" Kabir grinned at her, and Angad nodded too.
Piya talked to everyone at school: the nerds, the bookworms, the sporty kids, the cool dudes, the bimbos, the arrogant guys - everyone. She was like Miss Peace, being nice to everyone and helping everyone out.
"So, what's going on?" She asked.
"Yaar, Piya! Ye Kabir bol raha hai that he doesn't like Misha anymore. Tum hi batao, aisa ho sakta hai, kya?"
Piya looked from Angad to Kabir, then said, "Is Angad serious, Kabir? Kya hua? Don't give up itni jaldi!"
"Look," Kabir frowned, "I don't know why but all of a sudden I don't even care about Misha. I know it sounds rude lekin ye hi sach hai. Waise bhi, T jaisi ladkiyan zyaadi hot and interesting hain."
"Dekha? Mr. Girgit Kumar!" Angad exclaimed, turning to Piya, "Ye ajeeb banda hai. Iske dil mein kya chal raha hai, bhagwan bhi nahi janta hai! Anyway, I gotta get to class. Later, Piya. Bye, Rang-badloo Rathore!" He walked off.
"Kabir..." Piya sighed. "Tell me what's wrong!"
"Nothing!" He replied, looking serious, "I can't even remember why I liked Misha in the first place. Khair, chhodo. Here comes Jeh! Jeh, my man!"
Piya grinned as the hottie of the college, Jeh Khurana walked towards her. He was cute, and although Piya didn't really have that big a crush on him, she still fantasized about what it would be like to hold hands with Jeh and walk around the college with him, as his girlfriend. It couldn't be that bad!
"Kabir! 'Sup, pal?" Jeh high-fived Kabir and then turned to Piya, "Hi, Piya. How're you?" He said that in a much softer, friendlier voice. He used this voice for all the girls - and it always worked wonders.
"Hi, Jeh," Piya giggled. For some strange reason, she giggled a lot when Jeh was around.
"Anyway, I'll see you later," Jeh nodded to Piya, then winked at her, "Bye, Piya. Come on, K, my buddy! Let me introduce you to some REAL girl..."
Piya grinned to herself and walked away. Was it just her imagination, or did Jeh like her?
(Later, after college)"Oh come on, Piya!" Misha groaned as she, Piya and Abhay sat in the nearby coffee shop.
"I really think he likes me!" Piya frowned, "Main kya karun? Should I tell him I like him?"
"You really like him?" Abhay asked her, shocked, "I didn't know ki tumhe Jeh jaise arrogant guys pasand hain!"
"Please!" Piya told him off, "He's not arrogant. And he's cute!"
"Eww!" Misha shook her head, "I'm with Abhay on this one. Humaare pyaare Abs ko hi dekh ho. Tumhara best friend hai, aur Jeh se wayyy hotter hai"
Abhay looked away, "What do you mean?"
"You two should TOTALLY go out!" Misha gushed, "Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi!"
Piya, too, looked away. "I don't think of Abs that way..."
Misha laughed, "Abs mein kya burai hai? He knows everything about you, he's handsome, he's hot... aur, of course, uske 6 pack ABS hain! Isliye toh ye nickname!"
"I should go..." Abhay got up, uncomfortable. He hadn't thought of Piya that way... at least, not that much. Fine, he had found her really pretty and fun to talk to, and was going to ask her out the previous year in college, when they had first met. But when he realised that Piya only wanted friendship, he'd forgotten about those feelings.
Or had he? He wasn't sure how he thought of Piya.
"Abhay!" Misha wailed, "I was just-"
"Bye," Abhay said, "I'll text you, Piya."
"Humm," Piya muttered, upset. Of course Misha had made Abhay uncomfortable. When it was obvious that both of them DIDN'T like each other, why did Misha even bother?
After the cup of coffee, Piya went back to the College Hostel, where she lived, and Misha hopped onto her bike to go home.
On the way, however, Misha noticed two figures in the forest.
"Ooh," Misha grinned, "Gossip!"
She parked her bike near a tree and quietly walked towards the figures. "Oh GOD! It's Jeh and T! Even better gossip!"
"You don't understand!" T was shouting, "I can't help it!"
"I don't care, dammit!" Jeh replied, angry, "Sooner or later everyone will realise what's going on. You're hot, T. Lekin itni bhi nahi ki poori duniya tum pe hi fidaa ho. So just cut it out! And don't mess up the plan this time! Your eyes won't save you from me!"
"Are you sure YOU don't like me?" T replied, giggling and there was a pause.
Finally Jeh said, "Stop it. It won't work. So don't even try. Anyway, I think...someone's watching us. Aaj raat, same place, 8:30?"
Misha heard T take a deep breath, "Fine. Don't worry, no one will know. I'll take care of it."
"I should go," Misha thought and rushed back to her bike. What were they talking about? She couldn't make head or tail of the conversation.
As she was about to speed off, she heard one last thing - "Oh, and remember, T. Her name is Piya Jaiswal, second year. Girl's hostel, college. I want the job done as soon as possible. Get it? You know what to do..."
------------------------------------------------
Next:
Misha is shocked to hear Piya's name, so she decides to go back there at 8:30. But is that really the right decision?
Abhay is wondering what his feelings for Piya are. Does she even like him?
Piya gets a text from Jeh and excitedly goes to meet him. Will she be safe?
Stay tuned for the next chapter! 😆
